Jesse Yoakum Well Drilling

Jesse Yoakum Well Drilling — licensed to drill water and ground source wells as well as natural gas wells in both Kansas and Missouri. We have installed numerous wells throughout Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas. Our company prides itself on our professionalism and workmanship. Not only can we provide a water or ground source well, we can also service your well if needed.

How Ground Source Systems Work

Owners of Missouri and Kansas ground source systems can enjoy high quality heating and cooling year after year at substantial savings! Because ground source systems work on a different principle than ordinary furnace/air conditioning systems, they require less maintenance. Ordinary furnaces using natural gas or propane create heat through a chemical combustion by burning fuel. With a ground source system, the earth’s natural heat is collected in water through a series of pipes, called a loop, installed below the earth’s surface. Fluid circulates through the loop and carries heat into the home. There, the system uses electrically driven compressors and heat exchangers in a vapor compression cycle to concentrate the earth’s energy and release it inside the home as heat.  In the summer, the process is reversed to cool the home. The heat is pulled from the home, carried out through the loop, and absorbed by the earth.  Ground source systems can also provide all, or part, of a home’s hot water through the addition of a desuperheater to the system. When the unit is running frequently, homeowners can obtain all of their hot water in this manner, virtually for free.  Usually borings are drilled and vertical ground closed loops are installed. There are several other types of loop systems, such as open, pond, and horizontal ground.  Although we have the ability to drill using any of the above loop systems, we choose to utilize vertical ground closed loop. This type seems to be the most efficient for both geological and weather conditions specific to our area.
